Radio Frequency Skin Tightening

Radio Frequency Skin Tightening is a comfortable facial or body treatment that exists to help tighten and firm sagging or loose skin, and helps to decrease fat and cellulite. It uses Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields to create micro-injuries deep in the dermis. These harmless injuries trigger a cascade of healing, leading to an increase in the production of proteins which aid in firming and toning the skin.

RF face lifting or body tightening can help sculpt and contour areas that are concerning to you. Radio Frequency is non-invasive and pain free so it’s a treatment that allows you to completely relax.

Yes, radio frequency skin tightening really works! RF skin tightening for your body or face is a technique that’s scientifically proven to create lasting changes in the structure of your skin. You’ll be amazed at what radio frequency can do for you. Sometimes called a non surgical face lift, rf face lifting is an effective and completely safe method of combating common aging concerns like wrinkles and sagging skin without invasive procedures or lengthy healing times. 

It’s very unlikely you will experience any kind of pain or discomfort during your radio frequency treatment. This treatment is generally considered risk-free and side-effect-free.

You don’t need to do anything specific to prepare for this treatment. However, we do recommend that you try to avoid getting too much sun in the days leading up to your treatment. You’ll also get better results if you drink plenty of water before and after your treatment.

Your Radio Frequency Skin Tightening treatment session time is approximately 45 minutes.

After your treatment, you can expect to be relaxed and see noticeable changes to your skin. You’ll see tighter, firmer & younger-looking skin with improved skin tone, texture & elasticity. Fine lines on the face disappear and soften deeper wrinkles. 

Side-effects are extremely unlikely, but if you do notice any redness or soreness following your treatment, it should subside within a few minutes to a few hours.

Most people require no healing time after their treatment. If you do experience any residual redness or soreness, allow your skin to rest and begin the healing process and you should feel better within a few hours.

If you’re wondering what to do after your RF skin tightening, don’t worry too much! You don’t need to do anything! You’re welcome to return to your regular activities immediately after your treatment. You can even reapply your makeup, although, if you don’t need to, we encourage you to leave your skin in its natural state for as long as possible. We’ll make sure your skin is soothed with a calming, nourishing cream following your treatment.

If your aesthetician feels you need to do anything specific, they will give you personal aftercare instructions.

After your treatment, do not go into direct sunlight. Be sure to protect your skin with SPF of at least 30-60.

RF Skin Tightening lasts longer when it is part of a treatment plan. We generally recommend between 3 and 12 treatments to see your optimal results. The results from your first treatment may only last a few weeks, but when part of a treatment plan, you can see your results last 3-6 months before needing a touch up treatment.

Everyone’s treatment plan will look different depending on your individual skincare concerns and goals. It’s recommended that most people receive anywhere from 3 to 12 treatments. The best way to know what you need is to come in for a consultation where we can discuss your options.

You can have radio frequency face lift or body treatments as often as once a month. However, a complete consultation is necessary to determine how often you should use RF technology.

There are very few risks of RF treatment for skin tightening and the treatment is not considered dangerous. If you do notice any reaction, it will likely be very mild and may include red, swollen, or plumped skin. It should only last a few minutes to a few hours, and aloe vera may help cool and soothe your skin. 

If any of these symptoms develop and last for more than 24 hours, consult your doctor.

Please avoid direct sun exposure after your treatment and always wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 30-50.
